The River Club also works closely with the newly refurbished Protea Hotel Mowbray, which boasts 70 elegant rooms, a refreshing swimming pool and a full English breakfast to kickstart your day.
Don’t miss out on enjoying some of the more extreme activities in and around Cape Town. From climbing Lion’s Head and sand-boarding up the West Coast to hang gliding off Table Mountain to shark cage diving off the coast of Gansbaai, the Mother City has a lot to offer adrenalin seeking visitors and locals.
Shark cage dives take place out at Dyer Island, which is about a 15 minutes by boat from Gansbaai and offers visitors the unique and thrilling experience of seeing great white sharks in their natural environment. The island is the home to approximately 50 000 Cape Fur Seals which tempt the sharks into the surrounding waters as they are the predator’s primary source of nutrition. As the shark is a surface feeder, all the activity takes place close to or on the surface, ensuring good viewing for those on the boat, who may not want to venture into the water.
Sightings are highly likely but can not be guaranteed. The best days and times for viewing should always be checked with your selected tour operator prior to booking.
South African wines are world famous, with exports reaching 450 million litres a year, making SA the 9th largest producer of wine in the world. There are over 100, 000 hectares of vineyard in South Africa, with most of that being in close proximity to Cape Town.
Be sure to take some time to explore the beautiful mountain slopes and valleys of Constantia, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek that are home to some of the country’s most prestigious wineries.
